CISPA researcher Sarath Sivaprasad, together with Hui-Po Wang and Mario Fritz from CISPA and other colleagues from HIPS, has developed an AI system that can automatically detect abnormalities in ...

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it's unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Congenital heart defects (CHD) occur in 1 in every 100 babies born daily in the United States of America. Although CHD can be surgically repaired, it has been shown to complicate heart health with ...

In recent decades, the zebrafish has become one of the most valuable model organisms in scientific research. For a variety of reasons, including their genetic similarities to humans, these tiny ...

With today’s advanced microscopes, scientists can capture videos of entire embryos developing in real time. But there’s a catch: turning those breathtaking images into clean, accurate trajectories of ...
